PSD.1:6 - Bias-Annotation
Scope: decision-support engagements for a named receiving decision or Work. Lenses: Gov concerns participation and decision authority; Arch, the engagement boundary and dependent contributions; Onto/Epist, keeping the subject, claims, recommendation, and later choice distinct; Prag, a useful return at proportionate effort; Did, plain entry cues that preserve the distinction between cheap recognition and consequential assurance.
| Recurring bias | Likely drift | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| sponsor-language bias | The sponsor’s first wording becomes the problem and scope. | Name the receiving use, affected consequence, exclusions, and reopen condition before accepting the formulation. |
| authority-by-visibility bias | The meeting chair, report author, model owner, or recipient is treated as the choice owner. | Recover the later decision and its authority basis separately. |
| Method-first bias | A familiar PSM, workshop, model, or scoring scheme determines the engagement boundary. | Return the bounded question first; select Methods only for the result that is actually missing. |
| stakeholder-list bias | A visible list is treated as complete participation and concern recovery. | Continue with PSD.2 when affected Systems, representation, duties, interests, or dissent can change the return. |
| recommendation-as-choice bias | A confident recommendation, rank, or tool output is presented as authorization. | State the recipient, choice owner, next use, and stop at the recommendation boundary. |
| exhaustive-framing bias | Every possibly related concern is admitted before any useful result can be returned. | Choose the smallest current boundary and one observable reopen condition. |
